Gov. Scott Walker was neck-and-neck with Sen. Ted Cruz among Texas Republicans, according to a new poll from the University of Texas and Texas Tribune.

The survey found 20 percent of Republicans backed Cruz, while 19 percent supported Walker. In October, Cruz was backed by 27 percent of Republicans, while just 2 percent supported Walker.

In the latest poll, Jeb Bush and Ben Carson were tied at 9 percent each, while former Texas Gov. Rick Perry was at 8 percent. The poll of 547 Republicans had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.19 percentage points. It was conducted Feb. 6-15.
